you could strat it as a system service in windows to load on machine start. (without having to be logged in)

I did try that, and process did not start successfully. The same errors - that alude to no GPU detected were found in the log. From looking around, it seems that graphics drivers and computer are not made available by the system until a user is actually logged into the machine. I am guessing it is either a win 7 security 'feature' or some sort of power saving function to limit the active processes running before a user is actually trying to do work.
